The amount of electricity consumed by all kinds of household appliances, among other things, depends, of course, on the quality of outlets and switches installed in the house. In specialized stores today, similar products of various brands are sold. Quite popular with consumers are, for example, sockets and switches "Lezard".
Manufacturer
Switches and sockets of the Lezard brand are produced by the Turkish company Dernek GROUP. This company was founded in 1970. Initially, it specialized in the production of various types of consumer goods. The products of this company began to enter the Russian market in 1995. In 2003, the management of the Dernek GROUP decided to completely redesign for the production of electrical devices. In 2007, products manufactured by Dernek GROUP plants began to be marketed directly under the Lezard brand.
Types of sockets and switches
The Dernek GROUP company produces similar products of various designs. If desired, today you can purchase, for example:
- double sockets 710-0800-127;
- ordinary sockets 710-0800-122.
Lazard switches are available in the market with one, three, or two keys. Some of them are ordinary, others are walk-through. Lezard switches, among other things, can be supplemented with backlight, red or green. Also, if desired, in specialized stores today you can buy extension cords of this brand.
Switch Series
There are several lines of sockets and switches of the Lazard brand on the market. The most popular among consumers are devices of the Nata series in a case stylized as wood, stone or metal. Also, Mira circuit breakers in polycarbonate durable coating have earned very good customer reviews. In addition to this, on the market today there are products from this manufacturer of the Deriy series, characterized by increased safety.
Switches through passage
The Turkish company Dernek GROUP is supplying the Russian market, as already mentioned, with products of this type. Feed-through switches are used to control not one device, as usual, but two at once. Such devices "Lezard" are very popular mainly among owners of large cottages. Such products are, in fact, switches that transfer one contact to another.
Instructions for connecting a walk-through model
Almost all Dernek GROUP devices sold on the domestic market have a simple design. It is easy to connect the products supplied by this company to the household network. The installation technology of conventional switches of this brand is exactly the same as similar products of any other manufacturer. The wires from the socket are connected to the outputs of the device according to the scheme presented by the factory. By the usual method, the Lezard switch with backlight is also mounted. Installation is performed without performing any additional actions, since the indicator is included in its circuit in a special way.
With walk-through devices of this brand, having a more complex design, some home masters may have some difficulties in terms of installation. Therefore, we will consider in more detail what instructions exist for installing precisely such models. Mount the Lezard breaker as follows:
- The circuit of both lamps is closed using an incandescent bulb.
- Three wires of the first box are twisted together. After that, a phase or zero is found in the second slot.
- Unwind the wires in the first box and close each other - in the second socket. Also find phase or zero.
After the phase and zero (located in different boxes) are found, strip the ends of the wires and flice them. Then proceed to the installation of switches. Perform this procedure as follows:
- Turn over the Lezard switch with two keys and study the diagram drawn on the rear panel.
- In most cases, zero is connected to the third output of one of the switches, and a phase is connected to the second.
- Two other wires in both devices are connected to the outputs with the same serial number. In this case, you should navigate by the color of the insulator.
How to connect sockets: features
In this way, the Lazard, a double switch, is mounted. How to connect the outlet of this manufacturer?
As on the circuit breakers, on these Lezard devices, a diagram is drawn below on the case. When installing, you just need to focus on it. But there is one peculiarity in the installation procedure of “Lazard” sockets. Models in red packaging are mounted in the usual way. The devices sold in orange include the apartment network, taking into account that their terminals 2 and 3 are mixed up. Focusing on the scheme presented by the manufacturer, this should be borne in mind. The last panel is drawn standard, designed for the normal position of the outputs.
Of course, when connecting both sockets and switches of this brand, all necessary safety measures should be observed. Work only with rubber gloves. Before twisting or connecting the wires, it is necessary to disconnect the network.
Extension cord assembly
Connecting the Lezard switch (as well as sockets) is a fairly simple procedure. The same can be said about the assembly of extension cords of this brand and the connection of the supply wire to the blocks, which takes only a couple of steps. At the outputs of the extension cord, special screw mounts are provided.
The connection of the wire, therefore, takes the consumer no more than a few minutes. However, on sale today, unfortunately, there are pads of this manufacturer with a small marriage. Screw fasteners on such lezard extensions are missing. Therefore, to connect the wire to those consumers who are unlucky with the purchase, you have to use a soldering iron. Many customers who do not want to bother with such a tool even have to throw out the shoe and purchase a new one from another manufacturer in the store.
Lazard switches: consumer opinion
Reviews about the devices of this manufacturer, as already mentioned, are relatively good on the network. The advantages of products delivered to the market by Dernek GROUP are, first of all, its wide range of products. The advantages of the actual sockets and switches of the Lezard brand are:
- stylish appearance;
- reliability and long service life.
In terms of build quality, the products of this company are equated by most home masters with similar Chinese-made products.
The disadvantages of the devices of this manufacturer are, first of all, by the fact that rather thin plastic is often used to assemble their case. It is necessary to handle the equipment of this brand during installation and operation carefully.
The minus of the Lezard sockets is also considered to be that the contacts in them are mounted on cogs. Unfortunately, the wire can be pinched in such structures, unfortunately, literally until separation. In some batches of products supplied by Dernek GROUP, sometimes non-working marriage can also occur.
The cost of sockets and switches
Consumers include the relatively low cost of the products of the Turkish company Dernek GROUP. The price of the Lezard switches is usually about 100-150 p. Passing models at the same time cost about 200-250 p. Sockets of this brand are sold in specialized stores for 100-150 rubles, depending on the design and type of housing.
Instead of a conclusion
Thus, the products of the Turkish company Dernek GROUP can be considered quite reliable and high-quality. She earned relatively good reviews from consumers. In any case, most buyers recommend purchasing Lezard switches and sockets to their relatives and friends.
Of course, the products are not European, in some of its lots marriage may occur. However, in the vast majority of cases, sockets and switches buyers still receive quality. Mounting these devices on the network, thanks to their well-thought-out design, is very simple. It concerns even such relatively sophisticated equipment as a double-through switch "Lezard".
